Donna Rix's story about the trip that Jack Jackson (9241) and Art DuCharme (6513) took to Leningrad last December has been ready for several weeks, but was postponed several times for lack of space. After we scheduled it for this issue, we received copy for the Sandia, Livermore, page from Barry Schrader (8522). Surprise! Barry's feature is an "unusual vacation" story about Jim Alvarez's (8453) recent trip to Moscow. Great timing, huh?

Several Sandians have sent that one to us . * * * How Not to Keep a Secret - From the July/August issue of the Bulletin of the American Physical Society: A reporter called the Washington office of White House Chief of Staff John Sununu to check out a rumor of an upcoming meeting between Sununu and University of Utah researcher B.

  • Sesame Street Version 2.0 by Cataquack Warrior
    Sesame Street Version 2.0 By Cataquack Warrior Sunny days, sweeping the clouds away… You’re on your way to a certain street, and you can bet that there will be lots of interesting things to do and learn once you arrive. Time Since you’re going to start on the same street regardless, we’ll instead ask what year you’re starting. Roll a 1d6 to determine the decade of your stay. 1. 1969 2. 1979 3. 1989 4. 1999 5. 2009 6. Free Choice- Pick any year that Sesame Street has been active. Species There are all sorts of people here on Sesame Street, so pick whichever one you want. Roll a 1d30+5 to determine your starting age or pay 50 CP to choose. Pay 50 CP to select your gender, or else keep the gender from your last jump. Drop-In- You come as you were from the previous jump. Native Human- You may not be as unusual as some of the other creatures on Sesame Street, but you are still a key part of the community. Grouch- Noted for your flattened head and lack of a nose, you are notable for your grouchy behavior and love for disgusting things. Even so, you can still find a place to be happy – I mean miserable – on Sesame Street. Monster- Monsters come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but they are by the large furry and not that scary once you get to know them. Vampire- A vampire of the Von Count line, to be more precise.
